The Alaska State Legislature has passed a resolution urging various state and local agencies, including the Governor and the Department of Natural Resources, to enhance preparedness for the 2025 wildfire season. This resolution highlights the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires due to climate change, particularly in high-risk areas such as Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive interagency wildfire response plans, improved access to firefighting resources, and community engagement in wildfire education and evacuation preparedness. The resolution also calls for the implementation of advanced fire detection technologies and the establishment of emergency drills to ensure effective response to potential wildfire threats.

Additionally, the resolution seeks support from the Alaska delegation in Congress for increased federal funding to bolster the state's wildfire prevention and mitigation efforts. It underscores the importance of local and state public information officers in coordinating public education campaigns and enhancing emergency notifications. By addressing these critical areas, the resolution aims to improve community safety and reduce the economic impact of wildfires in Alaska.
